10 week old Austra Whites

[samantha1242]

New to backyard chickens and got some chicks about a month ago. They are now 10 week old austra whites. Any ideas if these are all roos or any potentially could be hens? We have heard the occasional roo sound but minimal and not from all.

Thanks!

Lucked out with all boys. Did you buy straight run? Oh and not AWs, they look like regular WLs.

Hmm would be weird as they are from my brothers farm and they only have one rooster which is an Australorp. I have one that is speckled that we are sure is a hen. So 5 total and I guess 4/5 Roos .

The birds have yellow skin, no leakage that I can see, and perfectly qualify for a hatchery-quality WL. Is it possible that he has a hidden male? How large is his flock?

About 100 so there is potential. The one that I am fairly confident is a hen must be an Austra white though?
